Hundreds Gather in Tallahassee for “Together for a Cure” Luncheon Supporting MS Awareness and Research

Tallahassee Thomasville, FL, September 17, 2026 —

Hundreds of individuals convened in Tallahassee for the “Together for a Cure” luncheon, an event dedicated to increasing awareness and generating funds for multiple sclerosis (MS) research and services.

The annual luncheon has a history of significant fundraising, having historically raised over a million dollars to support efforts aimed at combating MS. This year’s event continued that tradition by bringing together community members, healthcare professionals, and individuals affected by the disease.

A key component of the “Together for a Cure” luncheon was the acknowledgment of contributions to the field. This year, neurologist Dr. Gerry Maitland was honored for his work and dedication. The specific details of his contributions were not provided in the summary.

Attendees also heard personal accounts from individuals living with MS. These testimonials offered firsthand perspectives on the challenges and experiences associated with the disease, aiming to foster greater understanding and empathy among participants.

The event focused on its dual mission: raising critical funds for ongoing MS research and providing support services for those affected. While the summary notes the event’s historical success in raising over a million dollars, the specific amount raised during this year’s luncheon was not stated.

The gathering served as a platform for education, advocacy, and community building, underscoring the ongoing need for collective action and support in the fight against multiple sclerosis.
